sloan,
Just return, or if you want to go to the code after the loop, use break:
public bool AllDeptIDsMatch(EmpCollection ec)
{
// This assumes you have a count property. If there are
// no items, or one item, they are all the same.
if (ec.Count <= 1)
{
// They are all the same.
return true;
}
// Get the first value.
int id = ec[0].DeptID;
// Cycle through all the employees. If the department id
// is different for any of them, return false.
foreach (Employee e in ec)
{
if (e.DeptID != id)
{
// They are not all the same.
return false;
}
}
// They are the same.
return true;
}
Hope this helps.
